Leading South Island business Tekapo Springs takes out title of best tourism operator

Multi-award-winning Tekapo Springs has cemented its position as one of the South Island's top tourism operators taking out the title of best business in the tourism industry category at the 2013 South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce Awards in Timaru last night (August 30 2013).

The leading tourism company, which also won the Supreme Award in 2010 and has a number of other accolades under its belt, pipped a number of other tourism heavyweights to the post to take out the prestigious title. Tekapo Springs General Manager Cathy Hemsworth accepted the award with the rest of the management staff on behalf of "our amazing team" and said she was "over the moon" with the achievement.
